My partner has all the right political instincts and really wants to bolster their knowledge of the systems of socialism/communism and the ideologies therein.
I was initially thinking of recommending Blackshirts and Reds by Parenti as that was an entry point for me to shed any remaining lib tendencies I had.
Would love to hear what y’all would recommend!
I genuinely think the manifesto is a great early read. It’s concise, and deeply passionate in it’s proclamations, which I personally think is very invigorating when you’re mired in the present world of liberal triangulation.
